Gray's Papaya

Gray's PapayaNext time you're considering ditching the party to hit the hay, ask yourself how good a griddle-fried hot dog sounds. Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, this Upper West Side gem is known for their Recession Special, where you can get 2 hot dogs and a papaya drink for under $5 (be sure to get grilled sweet onions on your hot dog, too).
